MORE ABOUT ME

I became interested in creative writing while in a Creativity class in graduate school, and soon began performing as a spoken word artist around the Bay Area. Unfortunately, in some ways, I became more interested in writing that the M.A. However, I am a published poet, and I had a one-act play produced off-Broadway in 2002. After an accident in 2014, a friend invited me to Guatemala to help her get her medical tourism business started. I went and stayed for over a year.

I spent my junior year in college on external leave at UC Santa Cruz. I spent the first semester of my senior year abroad at the American University of Rome.
